MySQL Workbench 5.2.21 RC Available

Май 12th, 2010

Dear MySQL Users,

We’re happy to announce the first Release Candidate (RC) of MySQL Workbench.
Version 5.2.21 includes many improvements and fixes for 62 bugs.

We have introduced a new ease of use feature on the Workbench Home screen – the Plug-in Starter area – top left hand side. The icons listed in that area are used to get quick access to the most popular plug-ins that have been written for MySQL Workbench, either by us or the community.

If you are planning to write a plug-in for Workbench, now is the right time to get started! We will be updating the documentation in the next week or 2 with all the details on how to write your own plug-in.

MySQL Workbench designed in a modular way and is fully scriptable. Whenever you have to perform repetitive tasks or e.g. need to export your Workbench models tailored for your coding environment, writing a plugin to perform this task is the way to go. Python is our preferred scripting language but for simple scripts the Lua language can be used as well.

The first plug-in we added is called MySQL Doc Library. It can be used to read the MySQL Documentation offline and features many convenient features such as full text search. Currently, only the MySQL Workbench manual is included, but material and features will be added over time.

MySQL Workbench 5.2 RC provides:

  1. Data Modeling
  2. Query (upgrade from MySQL Query Browser)
  3. Admin (upgrade from MySQL Administrator)

if you are a current user of MySQL Query Browser or MySQL Administrator, we look forward to your feedback on all the new capabilities we are delivering in a single unified MySQL Workbench
As always, you will find binaries for the various platforms on our download pages.

Please get your copy from our Download

To get started quickly, please take a look at this short tutorial.

MySQL Workbench 5.2.20 Beta 10 Available

Апрель 28th, 2010

Announcing a new beta 10 release of MySQL Workbench. Version 5.2.20 includes new fixes for 49 bugs (P1 – 1, P2 – 7 , P3 – 39, P4 – 2)

A few new tips you might try. Some have been in the last 2 betas – but in case you haven’t noticed:

  1. Once connected in SQL Editor – type control-T or command-T to add a new editor Tab
  2. In the SQL Editor run a select. Highlight a cell (one with an image blob preferably) and right click (or command click) and select “Open Value in Viewer” or another option.
  3. In a results set — select multiple rows — right click and “copy row content”
  4. Click on snippets. Click on the selector and look at DDL and DML lists.
  5. Add your own snippets selection drop down option by creating an empty file in the snippets folder and re-opening Workbench.

For example on Windows …

C:\Documents and Settings\<your login>\Application Data\MySQL\Workbench\snippets called MyCode.txt

Want to include your code.  No space — for label – single space for code. Look at ours for an example.

MySQL Workbench 5.2 Beta 10 provides:

  1. Data Modeling
  2. Query (upgrade from MySQL Query Browser)
  3. Admin (upgrade from MySQL Administrator)

if you are a current user of MySQL Query Browser or MySQL Administrator, we look forward to your feedback on all the new capabilities we are delivering in a single unified MySQL Workbench

As always, you will find binaries for the various platforms on our download pages.

Installing Midnight Commander 4.7 on Mac OS X

Февраль 3rd, 2010

Another short post just to remember the procedure for the next time I’ll be setting up a new mac. For those of my readers who do not know what Midnight Commander (aka mc) is, GNU Midnight Commander is a visual file manager, created under a heavy influence of Norton Commander file manager from dark DOS ages :-) For more information, you can visit their web site. Now, get to the installation topic itself.

To install mc on a Mac OS X machine, you need macports installed and then first thing you’ll need to do is to install some prerequisite libraries:

1
$ sudo port install libiconv slang2

Next thing, download the sources from their web site and unpack them. When the sources are ready, you can configure the build:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
$ ./configure \
        --prefix=/opt/mc \
        --with-screen=slang \
        --enable-extcharset \
        --enable-charset \
        --with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/local \
        --with-slang-includes=/opt/local/include \
        --with-slang-libs=/opt/local/lib

Then, normal GNU-style build and install procedure:

1
2
3
$ make
........
$ sudo make install

And the last thing would be to add /opt/mc/bin to your PATH environment variable.
